Setup and Administration in Dynamics NAV
Central administration tasks are usually performed by one role in the company. The scope of these tasks can depend on the company's size and the administrator's job responsibilities. These tasks can include managing database synchronisation of job and email queues, setting up users, customising the user interface, and managing encryption keys.
Entering the correct setup values from the start is important to the success of any new business software. Dynamics NAV includes a number of setup guides that help you set up core data. For more information, see Setting Up Dynamics NAV.
A super user or an administrator can set up the Data Exchange Framework to enable users to export and import data in bank and payroll files, for example for various cash management processes.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
